Let’s not kowtow

Re: “Beware the boss”, (PostBag, May 15) & “30% not a majority”, (PostBag, May 25).

In both of his published letters, Yingwai Suchaovanich acts as if he has the best interests at heart for the country when he says the MFP did not want a majority of seats in the last general election, and so they have to wait their turn and respect the will of the 250 people in the senate to finally get a majority.

I wish to point out to Khun Yingwai that actually, the Move Forward Party clearly won the election and would already be in power in most other countries.

When he talks about wishing to avoid the Hong Kong-style democracy riots of 2019-20 and branding them “illegal”, or the consequences of recognising Taiwanese independence and allowing more American military bases in Thailand, he is basically showing where his true interests lie at heart: in not offending China.

The bottom line is that Thais, who voted in record numbers during the last election, deserve to have a person who they voted for democratically, not somebody who is satisfactory to the communist regime of another country. AN EXPAT IN THAILAND
